Short-Term Rental Management in Central Wisconsin
Clear Trail Properties is a Wisconsin-based vacation rental manager. We handle listings, pricing, guest communication, cleaning, and maintenance for owners across central Wisconsin — from our home market in Rome and Nekoosa out to Wisconsin Rapids, Stevens Point, and Wausau.
Co-host with usOne operator, one calendar, local hands
Our core portfolio is in Rome and Nekoosa, where homes are cleaned and inspected in-house before every stay and marketed together as The Rome Collective. That operation — pricing, screening, turnovers, group bookings across multiple homes — is what we bring to owners elsewhere in central Wisconsin.
Markets in this part of the state behave very differently from one another. A Wausau ski-season condo, a Stevens Point business rental, and a Nekoosa golf house need three different pricing calendars and three different compliance checklists. We manage them that way.
What we handle
Listing setup & optimization
Photo direction, listing copy, and channel-specific positioning built around the traveler each market actually attracts — golfers, lake families, Northwoods weekenders, or business stays.
Dynamic pricing
Rates adjusted for seasonality, local events, and midweek gaps. Central Wisconsin markets swing hard between peak and shoulder, and a flat rate loses on both ends.
Guest screening & communication
Inquiry response, screening, house rules, arrival instructions, and in-stay support handled by our team.
Cleaning & inspections
In-house cleaning in our core Rome/Nekoosa market and vetted local partners elsewhere, with an inspection before every arrival.
Maintenance coordination
Trades scheduling for HVAC, plumbing, septic, docks, hot tubs, and seasonal open/close work.
Lodging tax & compliance
Room tax filings plus municipal and county short-term rental rules, which differ meaningfully between markets in this region.
Multi-channel distribution
Airbnb, VRBO, and direct booking on a single synced calendar.
Areas we serve
Rome & Nekoosa
Our home market. Five lakes plus Sand Valley Golf Resort produce two overlapping seasons — lake summers and an April-to-November golf calendar. In-house cleaning team, same-day golf-group turnovers, and multi-home group bookings.
Rome, WI management →Wisconsin Rapids & Stevens Point
Mixed demand: weekend leisure, university and hospital visitors, and extended business stays. These homes benefit from midweek pricing strategy more than pure vacation markets do.
Talk to us about Wisconsin Rapids & Stevens Point →Wausau
Granite Peak in winter, Rib Mountain and the river corridor the rest of the year, plus steady corporate and medical travel. Year-round occupancy potential is stronger here than in a purely seasonal lake town.

Property review, a readiness list of anything the home needs, photography and listing build, then calendar sync and go-live. Homes that are already furnished and permitted typically go live quickly.
